Damn, I must have been a few blocks away earlier in the evening. Ate at Max's Wine Dive last night. We walked away from Sixth for our boozing and I was home at 1AM so I didn't see any of this.

Shootings are actually down over the past ten years. They're just getting more coverage.

Austin is a goddamned shitshow.

You couldn't pay me to live there even if you paid my rent.

If you can't find happiness in or around Austin, you prob can't be happy anywhere.

That's a rather nebulous response

Why don't you update the title and OP to reflect what actually went on and that it is all over? People are checking TD right now thinking there is an active shooter in Austin this morning

no, this isnt that "east"

The dividing line is Congress Ave. So Dirty 6th, "6th St" is all on East Sixth.





Driving back to Katy a month or so ago we left on 290. Which (correct me) begins as Cesar Chavez? Anyway we drove out and noticed the gentrification. Little young families walking out to vacant lots with food trucks all over. New home next to boarded up crack house. It is surreal. I told my wife, "you know they probably had crime scene tape surrounding each of these empty lots at some point 2 years ago.

The last thing I saw from the local paper is the shooter has not been identified/caught.

I've been sheltering in place under a crate of patchouli.

Go left from the Bernie Sanders sign to find me.

Besides getting shot you're in clear and present danger of finding a high paying job.

Be safe

Rent is gross here. Good thing I'm only planning on doing it for a year.
